That entire "standing" dodge is entirely bogus. In the case of danger of violation of our Constitution,

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

it is We the People who have "standing".

Let's see some leftist judge/lawyer argue their way around that!!!

I'm not a lawyer, judge, or leftest, but here goes:

The Preamble to the Constitution is what was know in colonial times as a Notice of Intent, or the purpose for the law that followed.

The People are the purpose for the Constitution, but it is the States that are parties to the Compact, so only the representatives of the States for a Presidential election [or the electors] have legal standing under the Constitution to question whether or nor someone is qualified to hold office.

A member of the general public does not.

“…it is We the People who have “standing”.

What makes your argument even stronger is the fact that early drafts of the Constitution provided, “We the States…” That language was expressly altered to emphasize that it was each and every citizen who was the power behind the Constitution.

STAND UP AMERICA! The presidential election is not over!
We voted for electors, not the individual candidates. The electors vote on or after December 15, 2009. The results are then presented to a joint session of Congress and objections may be heard on January 8, 2009 pursuant to the 20th amendment and Public Law 110-430. See the letter on my About page hand-delivered to the local offices of my Republican Senators and Representatives. I urge you to take similar action, even if it is simply faxing a one page letter to Washington, D.C.
